Chess pieces and Equipment


Chess board

• is a gameboard used to play chess. It


consists of 64 squares, 8 rows by 8
columns, on which the chess pieces are
placed.

King
• He belongs in the fifth square to the right on
the back line. Just remember, the white king goes
in the black square. The black king piece should
be placed directly across the board from the white
king. The king piece has the cross on top.
Queen
• The queen moves similarly to multiple
pieces. It can move in any direction like
a king
Bishop
• A bishop is a chess piece with a rounded
top and a slit cut into it. There are four total
bishops on a chess board, with each player
allocated two pieces.
Knight
• The knight moves multiple squares each move.
It either moves up or down one square vertically
and over two squares horizontally OR up or down
two squares vertically and over one square
horizontally. This movement can be remembered
as an "L-shape" because it looks like a capital "L".
Rook
• the rook is the second most powerful piece
(behind the queen). The rook can move
forward, backward or sideways, but
cannot move diagonally (like a queen or a
bishop). The rook can move up or down
vertically on any file.
Pawn
• A pawn is the most common chess piece on
the chessboard. Chess sets contain
sixteen total pawns. pawns can only
move forward. On their first move, they can
move one or two squares
Fundamental Chess Skills
1.Visualization
2.Calculation
3.Tactics
4.Openings
5.Endgames
1. Visualization

• is the ability to see in your mind the


positions reached when certain moves are
made – without making them on the board –
and seeing them so clearly you can
accurately consider the implications of each
new position.
2. Calculation

• refers to your ability to calculate the


consequences of your opponent’s
move, as well as the consequences of
your intended move.
3. Tactics

• There are many ways to describe chess


tactics, but perhaps the simplest is to
say that a chess tactic is a move (or
series of moves) that brings an
advantage to a player.
4. Openings
• All serious chess players have their favorite
openings which they know in-depth. That said,
you have probably heard many times that beginner
or amateur players shouldn’t spend much time
memorizing opening variations and that you
should just apply the opening principles.
5. Endgames
• The endgame starts when most of the pieces has
been exchanged and it is safe for the kings to join the
action. The endgame is very different to the opening
and middle-game mainly because the issue of king-
safety totally changes, pawns increase in value,
weaknesses in the pawn-structure become much
more vulnerable.
